If you go to a bigger running event you see a lot of people at the finish line who look really "run down" but at smaller events you get runners who are experienced and irrepressible even when it comes to heavy rain and steep hills

Runners at the Forest Frolic who are putting on a brave face after running up a steep hill in heavy rain last month -- funny enough this wasn't far from the town line with Marathon which is roughly 26 miles from Ithaca!

Making my way back to the base camp after Forest Frolic 2025 in the James Kennedy State Forest through a mostly flat and ferny forest

Believe it or not, this kid is really fast, he was the fourth runner to make it past my location in heavy rain after climbing up a really steep hill

Thanks to these volunteers who were stationed to stop runners from missing at the turn of the rock pile I had not only an umbrella but a hand to hold the umbrella
